Since they are very rare tumors, lymphomas of the vulva are often not properly recognized. Patients with vulvar lymphoma are generally elderly and the classical manifestation of the disease is a vulvar mass. No significant age differences have been found between primary and secondary lymphoma. To make a correct diagnosis, it is therefore necessary to use not only histological examination but also the genetic and molecular profile in order to establish optimal therapeutic management. Literature analysis confirm the good prognosis of this disease.

Purpose: Literature evidence suggests that trabectedin monotherapy is effective in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer (OC) presenting BRCA mutation and/or BRCAness phenotype., Methods: A prospective, open-label, randomized phase III MITO-23 trial evaluated the activity and safety of trabectedin 1.3 mg/m 2 given once every 3 weeks (arm A) in BRCA 1/2 mutation carriers or patients with BRCAness phenotype (ie, patients who responded to ≥two previous platinum-based treatments) with recurrent OC, primary peritoneal carcinoma, or fallopian tube cancer in comparison with physician's choice chemotherapy in the control arm (arm B; pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, topotecan, gemcitabine, once-weekly paclitaxel, or carboplatin). The primary end point was overall survival (OS) evaluated in the intention-to-treat population., Results: Overall, 244 patients from 21 MITO centers were randomly assigned (arm A = 122/arm B = 122). More than 70% of patients received ≥three previous chemotherapy lines and 35.7% had received a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) before enrollment. Median OS was not significantly different between the arms: arm A: 15.8 versus arm B: 17.9 months ( P = .304). Median progression-free survival was 4.9 months in arm A versus 4.4 months in arm B ( P = .897). Among 208 patients evaluable for efficacy, the objective response rate was 17.1% in arm A and 21.4% in arm B, with comparable median duration of response (5.62 v 5.66 months, respectively). No superior effect was observed for trabectedin in the prespecified subgroup analyses according to BRCA mutational status, chemotherapy type, and pretreatment with a PARPi and/or platinum-free interval. Trabectedin showed a higher frequency of grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, and serious adverse drug reactions compared with control chemotherapy., Conclusion: Trabectedin did not improve median OS and showed a worse safety profile in comparison with physician's choice control chemotherapy.

Introduction: Our consensus statement aims to clarify the use of antidepressants and anxiolytics during breastfeeding amidst clinical uncertainty. Despite recent studies, potential harm to breastfed newborns from these medications remains a concern, leading to abrupt discontinuation of necessary treatments or exclusive formula feeding, depriving newborns of benefits from mother's milk., Methods: A panel of 16 experts, representing eight scientific societies with a keen interest in postpartum depression, was convened. Utilizing the Nominal Group Technique and following a comprehensive literature review, a consensus statement on the pharmacological treatment of breastfeeding women with depressive disorders was achieved., Results: Four key research areas were delineated: (1) The imperative to address depressive and anxiety disorders during lactation, pinpointing the risks linked to untreated maternal depression during this period. (2) The evaluation of the cumulative risk of unfavorable infant outcomes associated with exposure to antidepressants or anxiolytics. (3) The long-term impact on infants' cognitive development or behavior due to exposure to these medications during breastfeeding. (4) The assessment of pharmacological interventions for opioid abuse in lactating women diagnosed with depressive disorders., Conclusions: The ensuing recommendations were as follows: Recommendation 1: Depressive and anxiety disorders, as well as their pharmacological treatment, are not contraindications for breastfeeding. Recommendation 2: The Panel advocates for the continuation of medication that has demonstrated efficacy during pregnancy. If initiating an antidepressant during breastfeeding is necessary, drugs with a superior safety profile and substantial epidemiological data, such as SSRIs, should be favored and prescribed at the lowest effective dose. Recommendation 3: For the short-term alleviation of anxiety symptoms and sleep disturbances, the Panel determined that benzodiazepines can be administered during breastfeeding. Recommendation 4: The Panel advises against discontinuing opioid abuse treatment during breastfeeding. Recommendation 5: The Panel endorses collaboration among specialists (e.g., psychiatrists, pediatricians, toxicologists), promoting multidisciplinary care whenever feasible. Coordination with the general practitioner is also recommended.

Bartholin gland carcinoma is an extremely rare disease. Information regarding treatment is scarce and there is no strict consensus on best practice. All studies reporting cases of Bartholin's gland cancer were screened and evaluated for inclusion. Baseline characteristics of studies were extracted. A total number of 290 manuscripts collected were available for the review process. Studies included in a previous systematic review were not duplicated. In total, details of 367 patients were collected, as follows: histological features, clinical presentation, treatment, recurrent rate, treatment of recurrence and outcome. About 35% of Bartholin gland carcinoma were squamous cell carcinoma. Almost 50% of patients presented with advanced stage. The therapeutic approach was mainly surgery, and in 61% of those women lymph node assessment was performed. Recurrence occurred in 21% of cases. Bartholin gland cancer remains a challenge for gynecologic oncologists. Guidelines, centralization to referral centers and standardized therapy are needed., Competing Interests: Declaration of conflicting interestsThe authors declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

Background: Pregnancy associated breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed during pregnancy. When chemotherapy is indicated, although it is more common to use anthracycline-based chemotherapy as a first treatment, we suggest weekly paclitaxel as a valid alternative both in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant setting, as this allows for weekly assessment of maternal-fetal well-being and a quicker maternal and fetal bone marrow recovery in cases of unexpected preterm delivery., Patients and Methods: We present a case series of pregnant breast cancer patients treated with weekly paclitaxel between 2016 and 2022. Patient demographics and tumor characteristics, data on management, delivery, and maternal-neonatal outcomes were extrapolated from institutional electronic databases., Results: Eighteen patients underwent weekly paclitaxel for breast cancer during pregnancy (PrBC); 17 were primary diagnoses and 1 was a recurrence. None of the patients had severe adverse reactions to CT. Two cases of preterm prelabour rupture of membranes were reported while in 1 case treatment was stopped due to threatened preterm birth. Two babies were born large for gestational age, 2 were small for gestational age and 2 babies were growth restricted at birth. At a mean follow up of 42.9 months, 1 patient died, 1 patient was diagnosed with disease recurrence and another patient was diagnosed with disease progression., Conclusion: Weekly paclitaxel can be safely administered during pregnancy and should be included in the current therapeutic options for PrBC., Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023.

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare, locally aggressive, myxoid mesenchymal neoplasm primarily found in the pelvic and perineal regions of young adult females. It is a slow growing and locally infiltrating tumor. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult due to the rarity of these tumors and absence of characteristic signs and symptoms. The primary management is tumor excision. Incomplete excision is common because of the infiltrating nature of the neoplasm and absence of a definite capsule. Other non- surgical modalities have been employed, such as radiotherapy, embolization, GnRH analogues or other anti-estrogenic agents. Local relapses occur in 30-40% of the cases, and often appear many years (sometimes decades) after the first excision. Occasional distant metastasis has also been reported. A limited number of cases have been reported in the literature, mostly in the form of small case series or isolated case reports. Therefore, the aim of this paper by a team of experts from the MITO rare tumors group is to review clinical findings, pathologic characteristics and outcome of patients affected by this rare condition in order to be able to offer up-to-date guidance on the management of these cases.

Objectives: To describe how SARS-CoV-2 infection at the time of delivery affected maternal and neonatal outcomes across four major waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy., Methods: This is a large, prospective, nationwide cohort study collecting maternal and neonatal data in case of maternal peripartum SARS-CoV-2 infection between February 2020 and March 2022. Data were stratified across the four observed pandemic waves., Results: Among 5201 COVID-19-positive mothers, the risk of being symptomatic at delivery was significantly higher in the first and third waves (20.8-20.8%) than in the second and fourth (13.2-12.2%). Among their 5284 neonates, the risk of prematurity (gestational age <37 weeks) was significantly higher in the first and third waves (15.6-12.5%). The risk of intrauterine transmission was always very low, while the risk of postnatal transmission during rooming-in was higher and peaked at 4.5% during the fourth wave. A total of 80% of positive neonates were asymptomatic., Conclusion: The risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes was significantly higher during the first and third waves, dominated by unsequenced variants and the Delta variant, respectively. Postnatal transmission accounted for most neonatal infections and was more frequent during the Omicron period. However, the paucity of symptoms in infected neonates should lead us not to separate the dyad., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest All authors have no competing interests to declare., (Copyright © 2023.

Background: Malignant ovarian germ cell tumors usually occur in young women. The standard of care is fertility sparing surgery and comprehensive surgical staging followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with BEP (bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin) if needed. The aim of this study was to analyze the reproductive outcomes after conservative treatment in patients diagnosed, treated and followed up in MITO (Multicenter Italian Trials in Ovarian Cancer) centers., Methods: A questionnaire concerning gynecological symptoms, reproductive outcomes and fertility treatment was administered to 164 MOGCTs survivors. Data regarding patients deceased were collected from MITO-9 database. There were 114 patients diagnosed at reproductive age between 1983 and 2019 included., Results: 109 patients answered the questionnaire and 5 patients decesased were included (median age 24.9 years). 78.1% were stage I,4.4% stage II, 14.9% stage III and 2.6% stage IV. 57.9% received chemotherapy, the mean number of cycles was 4.1. Median time to menstrual recovery after BEP was of 5.6 months range, only 1 case of premature ovarian failure was reported. Among the 114 patients 38 (33.3%) attempted to become pregnant, 29/38 (76.3%) got pregnant with a total of 44 conceptions. 40.9% received chemotherapy and 22.9% did not (p 0.048). Pregnancy desire was the only predictive factor associated with live births among women who attempted pregnancy after treatment., Conclusions: As MOGCTs affect women of child-bearing age, fertility preservation represents a major treatment issue. Our results are consistent with the available evidence, confirming that adjuvant chemotherapy for MOGCT does not impact the reproductive function and fertility., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest Alice Bergamini, Giorgia Mangili and Gabriella Ferrandina declare honoraria and research funding from MSD, GSK, Clovis and Astrazeneca.

Background: Vulvar dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an extremely rare disease. Its rarity can hamper the quality of treatment; deeper knowledge is necessary to plan appropriate management. The purpose of this review is to analyse the data reported in the literature to obtain evidence regarding appropriate disease management., Methods: We made a systematic search of the literature, including the terms "dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans", "vulva", and "vulvar", alone or in combination. We selected articles published in English from two electronic databases, PubMed and MEDLINE, and we analysed their reference lists to include other potentially relevant studies., Results: We selected 39 articles, with a total of 68 cases reported; they were retrospective case reports and case series. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the vulva tends towards local recurrence; an early and timely pathological diagnosis, together with an appropriate surgical approach, are of utmost importance to ensure free margins and maximise the curative potential., Conclusions: Even if this is an indolent disease and it generally shows a good prognosis, appropriate management may help in reducing the rate of local recurrences that may hamper patients' quality of life. Management by a multidisciplinary team is highly recommended.

Gynecological neuroendocrine neoplasms are rare entities and can be divided into two groups: carcinoids and neuroendocrine carcinomas. Due to their rarity their management is not standardized. The aim of this work is to summarize and discuss the current literature evidence on this pathology. A scoping literature review was performed in multiple databases. Thirty-one studies were included: 30 case reports and one case series. Patients' age ranged between 28 and 92 years. Surgery was the most used treatment and the surgical approach included local excision (N = 16/31; 51.6%) with (N = 5/16; 31.25%) or without (N = 11/16; 68.75%) inguinal lymphadenectomy. Adjuvant radiotherapy was delivered in 12 (38.7%) cases; instead, platinum-based therapies were frequently used when chemotherapy was chosen for adjuvant treatment. The overall survival ranged between 20 days to 4 years. However, further research is needed; currently, multimodal approach including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy appeared safe and feasible for the treatment of these rare and aggressive diseases., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in predicting pathological prognostic factors, including tumor type and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) score, in gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD)., Methods: Retrospective monocentric study including 24 consecutive patients who underwent to 18F-FDG PET/CT from May 2005 to March 2021 for GTD staging purpose. The following semiquantitative PET parameters were measured from the primary tumor and used for the analysis: maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), SUVmean, metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolisis (TLG). Statistical analysis included Spearman correlation coefficient to evaluate the correlations between imaging parameters and tumor type (nonmolar trophoblastic vs postmolar trophoblastic tumors) and risk groups (high vs low, defined according to the FIGO score), whereas area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the predictive value of the PET parameters. Mann-Whitney U test was used to further describe the parameter's potential in differentiating the populations., Results: SUVmax and SUVmean resulted fair (AUC, 0.783; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56-0.95) and good (AUC, 0.811; 95% CI, 0.59-0.97) predictors of tumor type, respectively, showing a low (ρ = 0.489, adjusted P = 0.030) and moderate (ρ = 0.538, adjusted P = 0.027) correlation. According to FIGO score, TLG was instead a fair predictor (AUC, 0.770; 95% CI, 0.50-0.99) for patient risk stratification., Conclusions: 18F-FDG PET parameters have a role in predicting GTD pathological prognostic factors, with SUVmax and SUVmean being predictive for tumor type and TLG for risk stratification., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: none declared., (Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Pathogenic variants impacting upon assembly of mitochondrial respiratory chain Complex IV (Cytochrome c Oxidase or COX) predominantly result in early onset mitochondrial disorders often leading to CNS, skeletal and cardiac muscle manifestations. The aim of this study is to describe a molecular defect in the COX assembly factor gene COX18 as the likely cause of a neonatal form of mitochondrial encephalo-cardio-myopathy and axonal sensory neuropathy. The proband is a 19-months old female displaying hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at birth and myopathy with axonal sensory neuropathy and failure to thrive developing in the first months of life. Serum lactate was consistently increased. Whole exome sequencing allowed the prioritization of the unreported homozygous substitution NM&#95;001297732.2:c.667 G > C p.(Asp223His) in COX18. Patient's muscle biopsy revealed severe and diffuse COX deficiency and striking mitochondrial abnormalities. Biochemical and enzymatic studies in patient's myoblasts and in HEK293 cells after COX18 silencing showed a severe impairment of both COX activity and assembly. The biochemical defect was partially rescued by delivery of wild-type COX18 cDNA into patient's myoblasts. Our study identifies a novel defect of COX assembly and expands the number of nuclear genes involved in a mitochondrial disorder due to isolated COX deficiency., (© 2023.

Objectives: To evaluate the rate of postnatal infection during the first month of life in neonates born to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-positive mothers during the predominant circulation of the omicron (B.1.1.529) variant., Methods: This prospective, 10-center study enrolled mothers infected by SARS-CoV-2 at delivery and their infants, if both were eligible for rooming-in, between December 2021 and March 2022. Neonates were screened for SARS-CoV-2 RNA at 1 day of life (DOL), 2 to 3 DOL, before discharge, and twice after hospital discharge. Mother-infant dyads were managed under a standardized protocol to minimize the risk of viral transmission. Sequencing data in the study area were obtained from the Italian Coronavirus Disease 2019 Genomic platform. Neonates were included in the final analysis if they were born when the omicron variant represented >90% of isolates., Results: Eighty-two percent (302/366) of mothers had an asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Among 368 neonates, 1 was considered infected in utero (0.3%), whereas the postnatal infection rate during virtually exclusive circulation of the omicron variant was 12.1%. Among neonates infected after birth, 48.6% became positive during the follow-up period. Most positive cases at follow-up were detected concurrently with the peak of coronavirus disease 2019 cases in Italy. Ninety-seven percent of the infected neonates were asymptomatic., Conclusions: The risk of early postnatal infection by the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant is higher than that reported for previously circulating variants. However, protected rooming-in practice should still be encouraged given the paucity of symptoms in infected neonates., (Copyright © 2023 by the American Academy of Pediatrics.)

Introduction: Despite predicted efficacy, immunotherapy in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has limited clinical benefit and the prognosis of patients remains poor. There is thus a strong need for better identifying local immune dynamics and immune-suppressive pathways limiting T-cell mediated anti-tumor immunity., Methods: In this observational study we analyzed by immunohistochemistry, gene expression profiling and flow cytometry the antigenic landscape and immune composition of 48 EOC specimens, with a focus on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs)., Results: Activated T cells showing features of partial exhaustion with a CD137 + CD39 + PD-1 + TIM-3 + CD45RA - CD62L - CD95 + surface profile were exclusively present in EOC specimens but not in corresponding peripheral blood or ascitic fluid, indicating that the tumor microenvironment might sustain this peculiar phenotype. Interestingly, while neoplastic cells expressed several tumor-associated antigens possibly able to stimulate tumor-specific TILs, macrophages provided both co-stimulatory and inhibitory signals and were more abundant in TILs-enriched specimens harboring the CD137 + CD39 + PD-1 + TIM-3 + CD45RA - CD62L - CD95 + signature., Conclusion: These data demonstrate that EOC is enriched in CD137 + CD39 + PD-1 + TIM-3 + CD45RA - CD62L - CD95 + T lymphocytes, a phenotype possibly modulated by antigen recognition on neoplastic cells and by a combination of inhibitory and co-stimulatory signals largely provided by infiltrating myeloid cells. Furthermore, we have identified immunosuppressive pathways potentially hampering local immunity which might be targeted by immunotherapeutic approaches., Competing Interests: CBo: received research support from Intellia Therapeutics and is member of advisory boards/consultant/speaker for Molmed, Intellia, TxCell, Novartis, GSK, Allogene, Kite/Gilead, Miltenyi, Kiadis, QuellTX, Janssen.

Objective: To evaluate outcomes of European cross-border multidisciplinary tumor boards in terms of participation, adherence to treatment recommendations, and access to novel treatment strategies., Methods: The European reference network for rare gynecological tumors (EURACAN G2 domain) aims to improve the diagnosis, management, and treatment of patients with these cancers. Cross-border multidisciplinary tumor boards were initiated to facilitate intercollegiate clinical discussions across Europe and increase patients' access to specialist treatment recommendations and clinical trials. All G2 healthcare providers were invited to participate in monthly multidisciplinary meetings. Patient data were collected using a standardized form and case summaries were distributed before each meeting. After each tumor board, a meeting summary with treatment recommendations was sent to all participants and the project manager at the coordinating center. The multidisciplinary tumor board format and outcomes were regularly discussed at G2 domain meetings. Anonymized clinical data and treatment recommendations were registered in a prospective database. For this report, clinical data were collected between November 2017 and December 2020 and follow-up data retrieved until May 2021., Results: During the 3-year period, 31 multidisciplinary tumor boards were held with participants from 10 countries and 20 centers. 91 individual patients were discussed between one and six times for a total of 109 case discussions. Follow-up data were retrieved from 64 patients and 80 case discussions. Adherence to treatment recommendations was 99%. Multidisciplinary tumor board recommendations resulted in 11 patients getting access to off-label treatment and one patient being enrolled in a clinical trial in another European country. 14/91 patients were recommended for surveillance only when additional treatment had been considered locally., Conclusion: Cross-border multidisciplinary tumor boards enable networking and clinical collaboration between healthcare professionals in different countries. Surveillance strategies, off-label drug use, and increased participation in clinical trials are possible benefits to patients with rare gynecological tumors., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© IGCS and ESGO 2023.

Introduction: Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) has been the backbone of the treatment of cancer associated thrombosis (CAT). Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have shown efficacy and safety not inferior to LMWH and guidelines included DOACs as an option for CAT treatment. Nevertheless, DOACs are still poorly prescribed in patients with cancer. The aim of this survey was to better understand prescription patterns of anticoagulants, in particular of DOACs, especially in gynecological cancers (GCs)., Methods: Our survey was made up of 21 questions, the last four questions addressed to medical doctors (MDs) involved in GCs. An invitation to complete the survey was sent by e-mail to 691 MITO (Multicentre Italian Trials in Ovarian cancer and gynaecologic malignancies) and 2093 AIOM (Associazione Italiana di Oncologia Medica) members., Results: Overall, 113 MDs completed the questionnaire, 69 involved in GCs. Most respondents (46, 41%) were aged 30-40 years old, worked in public hospitals (59, 52.2%), were medical oncologists (86, 76.1%). LMWH was the preferred choice for the treatment of CAT (104, 92%). However, 89 respondents (78.8%) prescribed or asked to prescribe a DOAC for CAT. The major concern about DOACs was the difficulty in verifying the therapeutic effect and the absence of antidotes in case of bleeding (37.9%). In patients with GCs, DOACs were used with niraparib, olaparib, rucaparib and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in less than 10 patients by 23%, 20%, 9% and 10.2% of respondents, respectively., Conclusion: The responders are aware of the Direct-acting oral anticoagulants option and would like to use them.

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) includes several rare malignant diseases occurring after pregnancy: invasive moles, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumours, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumours. Multidisciplinary protocols including multi-agent chemotherapy, surgery, and occasionally radiotherapy achieve good outcomes for some high-risk metastatic patients. In this narrative review of the published studies on the topic, we have tried to identify the role of radiotherapy. The available studies are mainly small, old, and retrospective, with incomplete data regarding radiotherapy protocols delivering low doses (which can make this disease appear radioresistant in some cases despite high response rates with palliative doses) to wide fields (whole-brain, whole-liver, etc.), which can increase toxicity. Studies considering modern techniques are needed to overcome these limitations and determine the full potential of radiotherapy beyond its antihemorrhagic and palliative roles.

Introduction: Endometrial cancer (EC) represents 3.4% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases and is responsible for 2.1% of all cancer-related deaths. Approximately 10%-15% of women with EC are diagnosed with advanced-stage disease, resulting in a reported 5-year survival rate of only 17% for those with distant metastases. A better understanding of its molecular features has ushered in a new era of immunotherapy for the treatment of EC, allowing for alternative therapeutic approaches, even in cases of advanced disease., Methods: We administered a multi-choice online survey for Multicenter Italian Trials in Ovarian cancer and gynecologic malignancies (MITO) members. The questionnaire was available for 2 months, starting in October 2022. Our objective was to evaluate the current attitude of incorporating molecular characterization of EC into routine clinical practice, appraise the implementation of newly available therapies, and compare the outcomes with the previous survey conducted in April-May 2021 to ascertain the actual changes that have transpired during this recent time period., Results: The availability of molecular classification in Italian centers has changed in 1 year. Seventy-five percent of centers performed the molecular classification compared with 55.6% of the previous survey. Although this percentage has increased, only 18% performed all the tests. Significant changes have occurred in the administration of new treatments in EC patients in MITO centers. In 2022, 82.1% of the centers administrated dostarlimab in recurrent or advanced MMR-deficient (dMMR) EC experiencing disease progression after platinum-based chemotherapy regimens, compared to only 24.4% in 2021. In 2022, 85.7% of the centers already administrated the pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib combination as a second-line therapy for MMR-proficient (pMMR) patients with advanced or recurrent EC who had progressed from first-line platinum-based therapy., Conclusion: Both the therapeutic and diagnostic scenarios have changed over the last couple of years in MITO centers, with an increased prescription of immune checkpoint inhibitors and use of the molecular classification., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Arezzo, Giannone, Castaldo, Scotto, Tuninetti, Turinetto, Bartoletti, Mammoliti, Artioli, Mangili, Salutari, Lorusso, Cormio, Loizzi, Zamagni, Savarese, Di Maio, Ronzino, Pisano, Pignata and Valabrega.)
